Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Where are you currently living? Are you renting or do you own a home?
Sources you can explore: - social services for your county at the Dept of Health and Human Services to discuss Section 8 housing or housing options for seniors - find out if FL's Medicaid pays for some or all of AL (some states do). If FL does, then start calling facilities - contact your local area's Agency on Aging for resources and info
Not knowing where you live--do you have gov't subsidized apartments that base your rent on income? There's a nice one by me, and while it isn't awesome, it's comfy and homey as you want it to be.
Usually a small bedroom, bath & main living area. Not large, but you don't NEED large, just snug for one.
I have a friend who has MS and she lives on a ground floor apt. She gets all the help she needs and can get around pretty well. As she needs a wheelchair, she needs a slightly bigger place. The residents kind of keep an eye out for each other. Few of them drive anymore, but there is a bus that comes a couple times a week for grocery runs, etc.
Another option would be to rent a bedroom and bath from a private owner. That is kind of fraught with difficulties, but if you get along, it could work.
I'd take a studio apt that was subsidized over a shared home, personally, but if you contact Aging Services, they can guide you. I know the wait list is pretty long in the one I am thinking of.
My mom has a small social security check and that is it. She lives in low-income housing (Section 8?) but has a safe and beautiful two bedroom apartment on a tree lined street. She worked with county social services to find the location.
Mom had a good income but spent foolishly and mistook how much SS she would have to live on when she retired at 62. She gets $600 a month.
I get criticized loudly for not subsidizing her but my mom has an issue with spending more than she has - so i stopped.
Call your County Social Services and see if they can help you. County Office of Aging too.
In my area HUD has apartments they subsidize. Rent is 30% of your monthly income. They charge a flat rate for electric and heat is included. Cable would be your responsibility. Here, its under $30 for basic basic. There are free streaming stations out there. You can get food stamps. Most places have food closets.
